Herbert Philbrick (Richard Carlson) is a man who lives three lives: average ordinary advertising man, Communist Activist, and FBI informant. In this episode, Philbrick tries to figure out how the Commies are getting information overseas.

Season 1, Episode 7

Note: Episodes 1-23 of this series are Public Domain. The rest were renewed.

It's popular to state that "I Led Three Lives" was the TV version of "I Was a Communist for the FBI" but it's not quite accurate. I was a Communist for the FBI was based on the stories of Matt Cvetic, very loosely. "I Led Three Lives" told the real life stories of Herbert Philbrick and tended to be more realistic and less sensational.
